8:17 AM

Good morning. I'm about to head out to go to Mass, then my dear friend Geraldine is taking me to the hospital. I'm hoping to stop by my Aunties for a wee visit on the way. (Aunties, if I don't, I'll check in with you for whe4n I can do that. I love you both so much.)

Just a few things to note: I keep my overnight stuff with me each cay, in case I don't get home. Which means I can't access my blog to update. So please never assume the worst. My bell's palsy is no big deal, I'm taking my prescription & doing eye drops.

I'm still getting so many messages of love, which we appreciate so much, & I read them to Larry. If you've asked me a question in your message, most likely I will not respond directly, it gets quite overwhelming. I look at my phone a few times a day, rather than every 10 minutes like the first day, which really did me in.

Finding Quiet space at the hosp is quite tricky.. |There is a serenity garden, jut outside Larrys window. However this week the jack hammers & saw sounds drowned out the bird songs. I did sit for a while after work hours and it was wonderful. I got to see Larry's little red finch, hop, hop hopping & pecking. From inside he looks like he's looking to see Larry. Really though, he's in love with himself and keeps kissing his reflection. The chapel is being turned into a Cath Lab, that' not for Catherine Larry Arthur Bowen., something a little less glamorous.

  Hope our Rogers folks don't go any more crazy than you did yesterday. I'm not Rogers and it was a hassle for me.

Happy birthday (yesterday) to our lovely bro-in-love John & nephew Kevin. Have a wonderful celebration.

God bless you all. Carpe Dium! Xoxo Catherine
